Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum Gas Futures Market for Long-Term Fee Predictability

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum Gas Futures Market for Long-Term Fee Predictability

The post Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum Gas Futures Market for Long-Term Fee Predictability appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Vitalik Buterin proposes an on-chain futures market for Ethereum gas, allowing users to pre-buy and lock in fees before potential price surges. This mechanism would provide long-term predictability for BASEFEE, helping developers and businesses plan transactions amid network volatility. Buterin’s vision introduces futures trading for gas, securing costs in advance for future Ethereum transactions. This system generates market-driven signals for BASEFEE evolution, reducing uncertainty in fee planning. Early projects like Oiler have tested gas derivatives, but a mature market is needed; Ethereum’s BASEFEE has fluctuated up to 200% in past cycles, per network data. Ethereum gas futures: Vitalik Buterin’s plan to pre-buy fees and stabilize costs. Discover how this on-chain market could transform transaction predictability—explore Ethereum’s future now! What is Vitalik Buterin’s Proposal for Pre-Buying Ethereum Gas? Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, is advocating for an on-chain futures market that enables users to pre-buy gas at fixed prices, addressing the network’s long-standing issue of unpredictable transaction fees. This approach shifts focus from immediate cost reductions to long-term fee stability, allowing individuals and organizations to hedge against future spikes in BASEFEE. By creating a dedicated trading platform within Ethereum, Buterin aims to make gas pricing more transparent and manageable, fostering greater confidence in the ecosystem’s economic model. How Would an Ethereum Gas Futures Market Function? Ethereum’s current gas fee system relies on dynamic pricing through the EIP-1559 mechanism, where BASEFEE adjusts based on network congestion, often leading to volatility that can surge by over 150% during peak periods, as observed in historical data from the Ethereum Foundation’s reports. Buterin’s proposed futures market would operate as a decentralized exchange for gas contracts, where traders buy and sell claims to future gas units at agreed-upon prices. This market-driven mechanism would aggregate collective expectations, providing real-time signals on anticipated BASEFEE trends—such as potential increases tied…

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
